LONGVIEW — Longview officials are investigating a stray bullet incident that damaged a firefighter’s personal vehicle at the Central Fire Station on Cotton Street. A Longview Fire Department spokesman tells KETK the firefighter woke up Thursday morning and found a bullet hole in his driver’s side windshield. The lone bullet was found resting on the passenger side of his truck’s dashboard. The firefighter reports last seeing his truck in normal condition around 11:30 Wednesday night.
